I discuss my own ‘Personal Learning Network’ and how it has changed over the years.

Rindu

After 2 months in England, I look back on my unexpected homecoming,

March

One last month in South East Asia – this time joined by my parents!

As usual, time here has been disappearing before my eyes – it’s now less than 2 weeks until I meet my parents in Singapore!! The past few weeks here have been busy as always, but without many adventures to report as I have mainly been focused on keeping everything running smoothly here at the school!Continue reading “February in Sumatra”
